I have an old single storey extension on the house which used to be the main access to the house. It is about 6 metres long.
Planning have insisted I replace the door with a window as we now have a new front access as part of a new extension.
The old extension has a 'rough' rendered and painted surface (tyrolean??) which is perfectly sound.
I want to smooth it off when I have the new blockwork under the window done.
Do I need to remove the exisitng render first, or can I just score the existing render, add something like PVA and render over the top?
If it is to be removed, do I go all the way back to the block, or just take of the surface with the paint on it.
I have had 2 quotes, and one said 'PVA'. the other said remove. Not sure which way to go.
